  1. Send DD packing and give Hanner a VERY stiff suspension. This will let other players know that even if you are in the same room with this stuff going on you are a part of the problem. If Hanner knew DD was smoking up then I wonder how many other players knew it was going on as well???   This makes me question our teams (on court) leadership. Yogi? Nick Z? Colin? Thomas B? Somebody step up and get your teammates in check. You want to make a run at a National Championship or make a run to the 7-11 for munchies. If you're not a part of the solution then you are a part of the problem.   See you in October.

    OT: My First Viewing of 'Blue Chips'

    Pretty sure Matt Painter is in this movie somewhere as well.

    IU Report Card/Season Grade/Teacher Comments

    C   Agree with everything Wayne said. Hopefully going forward we will consider a year like this a down year and will only come once every 6-8 recruiting classes.

    (2016) C Thon Maker

    ^^ A guy like Thon has been thru a lot as well. I feel like this wouldn't be a huge transition for him to make.   Also some young guys that live in very bad situations in inner cities might be looking for that type of change. Could end up being a huge culture shock, but the part where they get out of their current situation and are making large sums of money could be enough to push them to make a decision.

    (2016) C Thon Maker

    Remember reading an article on Brandon Jennings and he was saying he had a Brand new Volvo given to him a Flat (apartment) and he received per diem for food. Plus his entire salary was tax-free. If all of this is true then Emmanuel, Jennings, Thon or whomever would be essentially putting entire income into savings account. (minus a few bottles of Crystal) sp?   This is why I wonder why more kids do not do this more often. Specifially kids that need to make money soon to support family.

    2015 National Championship Game Thread

    Hate to throw any negativity out after the great week IU had with signings and UK loss, but I just saw 3 Freshmen win a National title over a veteran Wisconsin team.   Please do not use "Our team is young" as an excuse ever again.

    (2016) C Thon Maker

    Still couldn't hurt to recruit him hard. Worst case scenario we get a good referral for his brother.

    Needs for 2015-2016

    I would defer to anyone who knows him or has seen him more than me. If not Malik than a player similar. I would prefer an Indiana kid with high Bball IQ. This would be our 3rd string emergency PG. Just thinking about injuries (knock on wood).   Only watched him during the regular season game against Evansville Reitz. He played well. Great defender, clutch free throws, very fast, and from what I saw an above average ball handler.

    Needs for 2015-2016

    Yes, sorry Bennett not Williams.

    Needs for 2015-2016

    Pap, you are in the know. What about the Williams Malik Bennett kid from Southport? Has he signed with anyone?   I am not sure if this is even possible, but would love to have a kid like that as a walk-on with the possibility of becoming a scholarship player his Junior or Senior year. Also couldn't hurt with Brunk and Scruggs.

    OT: Rupp Rafters

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by 8titles: And we are the more aggressive team. Call it like you see it but that's the line of a controlled game. No coincidence it happened in Indy where the NCAA offices are. It's a joke. Officials broke our back late. We shouldn't have given them an opportunity but its still a joke. Oh yeah, add the two points wit. 2:00 and change left and it's BALLGAME. Terrible. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- in UK's previous 3 games they shot 80 free throws, their opponents shot 36. I'm wondering what was your response to fans of those teams complaining about the refs. I'm furthering wondering what your reaction would be if fans of Wisky said the exact same thing to you. The most fascinating thing is that you really honestly believe that the NCAA would fix a game against the team with the biggest fan base, the team that would draw (by far) the biggest tv ratings and the team that would have been the biggest story in sports. You really really believe that. It's clinical, and it's the train wreck that brings so many fans of other teams over here to watch the carnage. If you are wondering why the world roots against Kentucky (including some folks like me that actually have degrees from UK), it has absolutely nothing to do with UK's tradition and everything to do with the predictability of threads like this and so many others on this board today.

    (2015) C Thomas Bryant to IU

    So Thomas already knows more about our history than Max and RoJo. Good start.
  15. Don't care about PreSeason rankings.   We don't hang banners for being #1 in preseason.

    (2016) C Thon Maker

    For the record, I would not make nor buy a 40-0 shirt, just trying to get some conversation started.   Mission accomplished.

    (2016) C Thon Maker

    IU Safety beat me to it.   We got TB now if we get Thon do we get the name of the company UK used for their 40-0 t-shirts?

    Ken Nunn Champions Plaza

    Is this going to get him some better seats, or does he prefer to sit amongst the common folk?

    What if....

    In this scenario is there any chance the Boston Celtics have any interest in TC immediately after winning us the NC?   That would make Fred's decision much easier.
  20. Uwe Robb

    What if....

    Tom couldn't get it done with the #2 & #4 picks in the draft as well as 2 other Pros in the starting lineup 3 if you count Yogi plus 1 Pro coming off the bench.   Not sure if Any 2 players on our team even with Thon & Bryant will be the #2 & #4 picks in the draft in 2016. So I would bet against this happening.     Stevens on any day that ends in "Y"
  21. Slightly quicker Eron Gordon?

    I want Tom Crean to stay

    Crean did the Ian O'Conner show Sunday and was apparently on Mike & Mike this morning. Are these more signs Crean will be back for sure?
  23. Board of Trustees meeting April 16-17 in Btown or Boston?   Boston's regular season ends on April 15th. Coincidence????
